The Tax Court in a press release dated May 29, 2020 advised that as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to present public health risks and challenges, particularly where multiple individuals come together in a courtroom and in response, and until further notice, Court proceedings will be conducted remotely.
See Administrative
Order 2020-02 regarding remote proceedings and Administrative
Order 2020-03 regarding Limited Entries of Appearance. If you have any
questions, contact the Public Affairs Office at (202) 521-3355.
The
Court will provide public access to the Court’s remote proceedings via
real-time audio with dial-in information for each session posted on the Court’s
website.
Administrative
Order 2020-02 contains sample orders, such as the new standing Pretrial Order,
and notices, such as the new Notice Setting Case for Trial, that incorporate
the Court’s new remote proceeding procedures. The sample orders and notices
will also be posted on the Court’s website under “Forms.”
According
to the new Pretrial Order, litigants may appear for remote proceedings by
telephone or by video using Zoomgov, which doesn’t require a personal Zoom
account and is available to use free of charge. More information about how to
use Zoomgov to appear at a Tax Court proceeding can be found on the Tax Court’s
website.
